Basically, my clutch has gone.
I was driving my car tonight, as I usually do, very gently and peacefully. I pull up to a fast food place, grab some food, and go back out.
I get into my 2009 FA5, and as soon as I pull out I start noticing major clutch slippage. I keep going in hopes that maybe I was half-engaged or something, but the clutch keeps not grabbing and all of a sudden my whole cabin smells like clutch.
Naturally I pull over into a parking lot, with the clutch barely grabbing at this point, and get my car towed.
The outside smelled like pure clutch and now the car will barely move..all this out of nowhere. No overrev, no misshift, no dumping, nothing.
I'm waiting to get the car taken to Honda tomorrow, but what could have possibly happened? Are they going to play the "clutch wear and tear" item card on me? Because this is, quite frankly, ridiculous.
Any insight appreciated, mostly a vent I guess, since right now I have no clue what's going on.
